Good luck!
Interview tips I use? Ahh..Smile! Try to remember to breathe! Relax!
Interviewers are normal people, wanting to know if you are what your resume reflects, if you can fit into the culture/environment well, etc. Be yourself!
I always like to google interview tips before I go, brush up on my skills, try to get some insight into the purpose of their questions and how best to present an answer!
Obviously, you're going to need to have a technical understanding of the above job requirements. Seems like it could be a lot of "What to do in case of..."
"How do you handle a Virus or other issue, how comfortable are you with reviewing event/security logs, how skilled are you at documenting steps/processes, etc. "
I'm sure there are other security folks that can give you more in depth answers too! Good luck!

There are a few things that I would expect on an interview like that:

It is not unlikely that they will ask you about incident response techniques. What will you do when there is an emergency? I think your thought process will be of prime importance as positions like this require someone who can think fast and make critical decisions in real time. Disaster recovery will be something that can also make its way into the conversation. You have this attack targeting those resources, what do you do?

As far as the IMS, I tend to think about standards on this one - ISO for example.

Best of luck on the interview!

Here is a great thread posted here by YFZBlu, http://www.techexams.net/forums/jobs-degrees/90294-security-analyst-interview-some-what-you-need-know.html and a great article Information Security Interview Questions | Daniel Miessler.

As far as incident management systems (ticket management), my employer (one of the nations largest banks and financial firms) uses quite a few including BMC Remedy ITSM, Maximo, Oracle Identity Manager. If that's what it means by incident management system.
